APRIL™ Robotic Weighing shortlisted for World Food Innovation Award

We are pleased to announce that our APRIL™ Robotics Ingredient Handling system has been shortlisted for Best Technology Innovation in the World Food Innovations Award 2018.

It’s fantastic recognition of how much of an impact our highly innovative APRIL™ Robotic Ingredient Handling system has on the way the food industry handles and processes ingredients.

Weighing out powders is a manual repetitive task that is highly susceptible to human error. The APRIL™ Robotics Ingredient Handling system automates this task offering unrivalled accuracy and efficiency. The advanced torque force sensors within the collaborative robot allow us to weigh out ingredients to an accuracy of +/- 1g or 1% by weight every time, a level of accuracy unachievable by humans.
